    At my seat at Hyman’s Seafood in Charleston, SC. Cara sat where some guy named Lou Holtz sat – as if anyone knows who that is. It really doesn’t matter who ate there – the food was excellent and the service was awesome. Can’t beat that.

    Last night C & I were picking out sushi when we ran across Octopus salad – which is really just little Octopi in a box (some salad – the best picture I can find has more vegetables). All I could think about was this post from August. Fortunately I was able to get the thought out of my head before we ate dinner.

    Today I found this.

    That’s right – the octopus is walking on land. That’s what you get for pickling his cousins. He is going to hop out of the pool and whip your tail.

    So it might take a couple of evolutionary cycles but they are coming right for us.

    We stopped by Beasley’s Chicken + Honey after the Christmas parade. I don’t know if I need to say anything else.

    img_9724One might assume after my recent loss as Official Deep Fried Ambassador I would act childish and refuse to go the NC State Fair. In a normal year you might be right – this year I heard about the red velvet funnel cake and decided to swallow my pride and go anyway. Yes – A Love Affair may break my heart but nothing is going to hurt my appetite.

    So here we are let me run down the highlights – Italian sausage, red velvet funnel cake and ice cream from NC State’s Howling Cow. Cara took some great pictures (after the jump) and I snapped a few with the little camera as well. I failed to be impressed with how little the information booth seemed to know and how indignant the guy was when I reminded him he was sitting under a sign that said INFORMATION. Yes – I expect you to answer my question. Spent some time touring the exhibits and people watching.

    Overall – another successful year at the fair. Did I mention the red velvet funnel cake? It was AWESOME. Thanks to former intern turned Department of Agriculture contact for the hook-up and knowing the answer to the most important question of the night. (+1 Paul / 0 Information Booth) If the weather stays the way it has been at night this is not a fair you want to miss. Last night was as close to perfect as you can get.

    I almost forgot to mention the Old Grist Mill – maybe because it wasn’t open – but if it would have been open I would have shared a story about two friends of mine that saved it from imminent destruction with quick wit and even quicker actions. I would herald their acts of bravery but I didn’t get a hush puppy so I’m not telling you squat. Enjoy the pictures.

    dsc_0326 The best part of waking up is not Folgers in your cup. Not now anyway. Observe – the RED VELVET WAFFLE with of course cream cheese icing draped on it. Yes – it’s a mix. Yes – it is unhealthy. Yes – it tastes AWESOME. After the jump are more pictures of the creation (from a mix) of this creation. Not pictured – my smile eating them. Sorry.

    Some of you may have seen my Facebook post when I found the waffle mix at Target. This is the result. That is Princess keeping a close eye on us making them hoping we will share.
